Another Sinai Agama Encounter at the Wadi Shawkha, RAK

This Sinai Agama is busy with its morning sunbathing 

Perched steadily on a rock as it was fixing its gaze on me

As if curious about my presence, the Agama did not move away as I closely approach it

Perfectly camouflage in its rocky mountain perches

I was traversing a dried-up river passage way across the Hajjar Mountain trails at Wadi Shawkha, RAK, when I spotted just a couple of feet away from me, perched on a rock was a lizard with a bluish head. It seems surprised of my sudden appearance nearby its rocky hideaway. It was staring at me, not moving from its rock, I think it was studying me as well. It was trying to understand how I literally popped up in front of it. 

SINAI AGAMA or BLUE AGAMA, Pseudotrapelus sinaitus  


Awesome creatures! Awesome CREATOR!
